Americans spent more than $16 billion on all sneakers and athletic shoes in 2003, said Bob McGee, editor of industry newsletter Sporting Goods Intelligence.

At an averege price of around $50.00, that comes to 320 million pairs of sneakers.

As of right now there are 294,714,111 people in the US, meaning that there were enough sneakers sold in the U.S. for every man, woman and child in America to have a pair each (1.09 per capita, to be exact)
